Four Unshakable Pillars

Heaven came down 3 months ago, on July 4th, and took my husband home. He heard the these glorious words, "good and faithful servant" and he would want you to know heaven is coming again and would like to take you also.

The Heidelberg Confession begins with a question, "What is your only comfort in life and in death?" This answer to this question, the salvation we have in Jesus Christ, meant more to me than ever before as I witnessed death, the great enemy, desiring to strip all dignity and have its final say, but God always has the final word. Death is not the ending - it must bow down to a Sovereign God. C.S Lewis "If a man is joined with God, how can he not live forever?"

What is your only comfort in life and in death?" The answer is glorious and Biblical - and it was my husbands heart and his heart for each of you. "I am not my own, but belong - body & soul, in life and death - to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with His precious blood...because I belong to Him, Christ, by His Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life."

This is the confidence, hope and comfort we have in Christ in the presence of death, Eternal Life. The blessed assurance of our Eternal Home, a home prepared for us two thousand years ago.

John tells us in Revelation 21 that "as a bride prepares for her husband"...as a bride on her wedding day , a chosen day, filled with many details so beautifully prepared, in heaven each detail is perfectly prepared as well.

I am eternally thankful and constantly comforted by the Lord in the assurance I have. In the glimpses I have been given in scripture...as it tells us that "John saw", with the same eyes John saw Jesus' miracles, Jesus crucified and buried and risen from the dead and ascending into heaven. John saw heaven open up and described it's glory comparing it to a wife adorned for her husband. Even as I prepared for my husband on our wedding day and throughout our marriage....how much more does God love him and us all. May we look forward to that day when we all will meet Jesus face to face and dwell with each other for all eternity...when all things will be made new.
